Kyla's DiaryKyla's DiaryIts been a while since I've been here. Happy to say that today I went and got 4 hens
I lost my 3 girls on the 1st December last year to Mr Fox and basically my life went downhill from that day, my dad also got hit by a car that day and died 2 weeks later. Anyway now I'm starting to pick up the pieces again and the garden has felt so empty with the girls not running around the garden getting into mischief. One of the guys at work insisted in giving me the money to get some more. I refurbed the house a couple of months ago, gave it a coat of paint and an onduline roof, so everything has been good to go for a while. Meet the girls......... and one kindly left us this as soon as she moved in
Re: Kyla's DiaryHi Kyla, I'm new so we haven't met, I'm sorry to hear all that sad news.
Looks like it's time for a new start and I will look forward to seeing what your girls get up to. Life's too short to quarrel
Re: Kyla's DiarySorry you've had such a miserable time - glad to see you're starting up with the chickens again

“cockerels may crow but it's the hen that lays the egg." Re: Kyla's DiaryIt looks like the girls have settled in overnight, they took themselves off to bed ok apart from the Suffolk Blacktail who insisted on sitting at the top of the ramp. I suspect she was being picked on by the grey one as there was a bit of a racket.
I've found the trouble maker out of the bunch: Lets be friends Arn't I clever Look at me, I'll make you laugh and I'm off under the wire That problem has now been solved so she won't be doing that again!
Re: Kyla's DiaryYou look like you've got your hands full there! Looks like she will keep you on your toes, which after all is their job isn't it?
They are beautiful girls, and I'm sure will bring you many hours of happiness and naughtiness! I look forward to reading all about it. Have they got names yet? Karen

This time I'm thinking of maybe the Good Life.....Tom, Barbara, Jerry & Margo, as Jerry can be a female name albeit with a G.....not sure what female name shortens to Tom though but that does'nt really matter as they will answer to anything when you have treats...lol
Re: Kyla's Diary
Thomasina! And apparently, according to Wikipedia, Tamsin My mistake - Tamsin is the female version of Tom... Karen

The white one decided to try and escape again, went to check on them all just before their bedtime to discover she had wedged herself in between the house and the run. No idea how long she had been there but does'nt seem any worse for her ordeal. It was only a gap of a couple of inches, so yet another modification completed! Wonder what she will get up to tomorrow Re: Kyla's DiaryHi Kyla So glad you have got some girlies again. Love your pictures, your white girl reminds my of my late Elsie when she was young, same breed too. As she is such an explorer maybe she could be Dora?
